The Freshaire Choice – no VOC paint
by Carrie @ 8:09 am 2 comments »
Thinking of adding a fresh coat of color to your walls? If so, make sure to choose a brand of paint that is low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), or better yet, one that contains no VOCs at all, such as The Freshaire Choice, which is available at Home Depot.
VOCs are chemical gases emitted from products such as conventional paint, paint strippers, aerosol sprays, cleansers and dry-cleaned clothing. These gases can cause adverse health effects, which, according to the EPA, include eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, loss of coordination, nausea, headaches, skin reactions, fatigue, dizziness, and possibly even cancer. Scary stuff.
Thankfully, The Freshaire Choice is available in 65 colors and received the highest level of certification by the Greenguard Environmental Institute, a non-profit organization that provides verification for low-emitting products. Using a no-VOC paint is an easy and important way to make sure the air quality in your home is safe for you and your family.

I used this paint in every room in my house.
The Pros: environmentally friendly, No odor, easy clean up, etc….
The Cons: It’s hard to keep clean. It doesn’t wash off dirt from little hands to well.
